This. Although people are whining and bitching that it's inaccurate, this is my recollection as well. The majority of people who tried multi-kiting would get hit very often because of dial-up latency. All the people I knew back then said it was too dangerous to attempt. Yes, there were people who worked in IT and had T1 connections and what not, but the majority did not.
